They've closed the old Rialto movie theater, sigh! What a pity. This was the first theater I saw a midnight showing of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Believe me, the audience was the real show!

About Me
- Yoga Gal
- About me? Reminds me of that question one gets on a job interview or a first date -"So tell me about yourself?" Sends chills down my spine. What am I to say? I am wonderful & brillant- now hire me , love me - buy me dinner buy me a drink. I like to see myself as my favorite image, the dancing Shiva. That's me, a dancing Shiva dancing within the circle of cosmic fire the energy of life , birth & distruction with the instruments of creation, music and weapons of war in my hands while balancing one foot in the air and one foot pressing down on ignorance. Life is just a balancing act after all.

oh, that sucks. my cousin used to perform at the rhps screenings (usually playing magenta, but sometimes subbing for janet or columbia), and it was always fun going along, and hanging out with them afterwards at denny's. lol. funny thing - i just watched the 'wizard of oz' version of rocky horror last night. what are the odds?! hope you're doing well, sweetie!
It's heart breaking seeing that theater close down becasue they use to show the non- Big Hollywood more artsy movies! They also had great midnight movies. Like the classic movie "Freaks". Time marches on I guess.
Hi Yoga Gal! I hate it when the grand old theaters close -- all those wonderful memories boarded up. I hate the big multiplex theaters -- no soul in those at all. Hugs.
:)
Oh wow and it looks like such a great place too. Such a shame. But at least you have those wonder time warp memories! :) Gosh I love Rocky Horror. It just doesn't get any better than that! :)
Ahhhh!!!
We have an almost identical movie theatre in town that is also closed now. It's where I saw "The Exorcist the first time!
It saddens me that now we have to go the cineplex-odion stadium seating-triplex-10 flavour popcorn-cookie-cutter theatres.
Boring!
Fabulous pic!
I guess this isn't the proper place to say I don't know which Rialto is closing and that I've never seen RHPS.
A real shame that is.
These are disappearing everywhere, only leaving ground for huge plasticky theaters showing plasticky movies...
Ah...thats sad.
All the little ones are gone now.
I miss them.
To answer the question the old movie house is in South Pasadena. It was a real cool old movie house with a balcony, which was so cool to sit up at.
